Drawing on decades of research and a vast network of experts, Rob Jackson, Chair of the Global Carbon Project, introduces some of the brilliant innovators behind the boldest solutions to climate change - including an Eritrean agricultural scientist, a Swedish CEO and a Brazilian hydrologist.

Now we have more tools to combat climate change than ever before, Into the Clear Blue Sky traces a clear path to a better future for us all - one that will see us cutting emissions in inventive new ways that protect our health and livelihoods, while repairing the damage we have caused to the atmosphere. This visionary and transformative book is the call to action we need - right now.
